The issue that I believe to be of most importance is the coalition of the majority making their voices be heard and fighting for the cause through social movements. I personally believe that social movements, slowly but surely, will affect and alter the modes of privatization as well as the unequal distribution of wealth. So long as people come together and make a concerted effort, change will occur.
Just because celebrities are participating in or showing their "support" at occupy movements does not mean that they truly care. Celebrities just may be promoting themselves so that people can support their business ventures. After all, celebrities such as Kanye and Russel Simmons are in the music business to make profits. However, I may be wrong and they just may earnestly be interested in the people's welfare. Nevertheless, celebrities' appearances at Occupy movements will not close the gap between the 99% and the 1% because they are not distributing their wealth but are merely showing up.
